I am London based.I have been mixing, recording and 'sampling' electronic,ambient,'beat'- flavoured music for about three years in various forms and disguises.I have always been very much a 'guitar' music fan,and have played guitar for a good many years numbering a long list of influences (too many to mention here....)However, since the advent of 'user friendly' PC's came into their own some years ago, my interest with - drum'n'bass,techno,hip-hop,ambient,and what is generally described as 'dance'music, sparked-off my imagination, and I have indulged myself ever since ! I suppose my 'own'style of music could 'loosely' be described as Ambient 'beats and bass'
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play live.I Prefer working on my own,'doodling' away (when I can),in my own time, piecing together the odd 'tune' now and again.
